Flight Instruction: Young Eagles Flying Club, who are they and why do they want to be a part of our club? Your first flight: What to expect. TheUS military is willing to donate pilot log books, you will learn how to log flight time and why it is so important to document for future use.

Flight Jackets: TheUSmilitary is willing to donate aviator flight jackets to our club. You have the option to buy (at cost) or borrow a jacket. We will also collect aviation memorabilia such as posters, pins and patches provided by theUSmilitary and commercial businesses. We need to design a logo for our club and design a large patch for the back of our jackets. You will also be provided with a “Call Sign” name patch. A US Naval officer will talk to us about aviator call signs and how to create them appropriately, we will use our own “call signs” as name patches on our jackets
